If you actually read what I wrote in the post...

That should clear things up. ;)  I just meant that my visits will be occasional rather than daily.

THE END

THE NEW BEGINNING

 

Thread Ressurection?  Okay, let's do it!  Oh, and Frink, we're doing this thing whether you like it or not! ;)

Saying OR at all costs.

Well, the only way out of here is to try one of these doors.  Trust me, I know these things.

Here's where you can hear my voice.

In the Logo, you can hear me say "I'm through!"  That's what I sound like.

I'm taking a break from OT.com for awhile.  This time, it has nothing to do with personal problems caused by my posting something stupid.

You see, I've been joining a lot of forums lately, and with OT.com in particular, trying to keep up with all of these posts (I have this completion thing where I have to be on top of all topics) is almost an unhealthy addiction.  My time is better spent doing school, keeping my video-editing skills sharp, that sort of thing.  So I'm taking a leave of absence, but I'll still come back occasionally, and not even try to catch up with all the posts, but just see in general what's up.  I'll definitely come back to get the V3, once I have the GOUT.  I may check out Adywan's SW:R and Frink's Ridiculous Edits, too.

Spock in the final cut would be hilarious!

Regarding the effects shots, it looks like they're going back to the original film elements for the models, but the CG is still a mystery. My hope is that they provide higher-res effects that are faithful to the original (same look, just rendered at 1080p). I don't see what else they could do; including the original effects isn't an option unless they take the same route Universal did with Firefly, and that didn't provide very good results in my opinion. It's painfully obvious when the uprezzed shots kick in.

I don't think updated effects that are faithful to the original CG are at odds with the purpose behind ot.com. In the case of Star Wars, all the original effects exist on film for remastering. Older TV shows shot on film but using CG effects rendered at 480i don't have a clear-cut path to HD, and certain compromises will have to be made.

This.

What few people know about R4-P17 is that after her decapitation in ROTS, her head landed in Mos Eisley.  A kindly repair shop owner fixed her and put her head onto a new blue body.  She had been working faithfully for the repair shop owner for awhile since then.

Just before the Millenium Falcon blasted off from Mos Eisley, R4 and a newly-repaired Skippy the Jedi Droid fell in love, and were subsequently captured by the Empire.  They were both sent to the Death Star, and were scheduled to be checked for the stolen plans.  However, once the Empire found out that the technical readouts were not in Skippy or R4, they were scheduled to be terminated.  Skippy managed to escape and free R4 as well, but that was not until the Battle of Yavin had begun.  The two droids would've been destroyed with the Death Star, had they not stowed away aboard Tag and Bink's hijacked shuttle.

The two droids, being more competent than Tag and Bink, were able to find the Rebels on Hoth a few months before Tag and Bink arrived at Bespin.  R4 was assigned to repair the Millennium Falcon, though the task was so great that it required her personality to be transferred to a treadwell droid in order to more effectively repair it.  She was re-transferred to her own body after the evacuation.

R4 and Skippy were married right before the Battle of Endor.  During the battle, Skippy was destroyed.  R4 was greatly depressed when that happened, but her spirits brightened when, after the battle, she found that, among the force ghosts standing and watching the celebration was: Sebastian Shaw's Anakin Skywalker!!!  Oh, and Skippy was there, too, but yeah, whatever.  By that point, she already started hanging out with R2-D2...

Could you tell me which episode that's from?  So I can avoid it when I get to it?

Never heard of Adama.

ACKBAR.

Star Wars: Special Edition or Prequel Trilogy?

*sigh* This really is a dark time for the Rebellion.

When you get older, you'll find that you've grown hair in other, *special* places.

Yeah.

Like your Nose!!

Or the back of your neck. ;)

NO!!!  NOT THE SARLACC!!!

Red String or Blue String?

Hmm...  How about you tell us a little bit about yourself?  Your likes/dislikes not related to Star Wars.  That should be your avatar.

TV's Frink said:

Exactly...

Unless he's not shaving his face?

Ewww.

What's so gross about shaving his forearm hair?

Film Adaptations of Novels

Bad Movies or Nostalgia Critic?

This thread settled it.  After my little sister and I finish up Episode II this Saturday, I'll never put the PT on for her to watch again.  Episode III was PG-13 anyway.  Nothing but the OOT from now on.

I'm on FanEdit.org now! *applause*
